Boop... boop.... boop.... look what just popped up on my radar:
I'd watch it now, but it's too late. My eyes are blurring and my brittle, aching bones must be laid to rest. I want to view it while entirely coherent in all its dramatacular glory.
In other radar booping news, earlier this month the Maine Human Rights Commission ruled "that the Orono School Department discriminated against a transgender child by denying her access to the girls bathroom." Wow. Go Maine! Unlike Utah, where a kid can't even wear a kilt to school without being hassled.
NBC's The Listener: Taking on Trans YouthNeat! Since this just barely booped, I haven't watched it yet - but I'm excited to. Apparently the full episode is online here.
I've been watching a show on NBC that I haven't heard too much buzz about. The Listener is about a paramedic who can read people's thoughts and uses it to help others. Think "Heroes" without the giant cast and a little more believable (if mind-reading can be believable).

Thanks for the heads up! NBC's site doesn't let me see the episode due to my location --frustrating, but that happens often-- but I found the whole thing on YouTube. I hope this is well done; that would be awesome.
ReplyDeleteOur Russian friend mentioned this the other night when we were at her house.
ReplyDeletegenderkid: That is frustrating. How lame. I'm glad that you found it on YouTube though. Suckas!
ReplyDeleteKegg: She did? I swear that I listen to our Russian friend. Or at least I think that I do.
